Chelsea, Arsenal and London City are lining up key moves for next WSL season. Alexia Putellas, Ballon d'Or winner, is linked to London City, who have offered a lucrative deal that outshines Barcelona’s terms. Meanwhile, Chelsea target striker Felicia Schroder with a potential world‑record fee, while Arsenal eye former internationals Georgia Stanway and Ona Batlle.

London City’s bid arrives as the club, absent from European competition next season, seeks to bulk up its squad for a title push. The club also pursues out‑of‑contract mounters Mapi Leon and Mary Earps, hoping the trio could help secure domestic glory while Putellas contemplates a big payday in the capital.

Chelsea’s focus on Schroder follows the departure of Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw, who chose Manchester City. The 19‑year‑old, who netted 30 goals in Sweden and scored a hat‑trick in the Europa Cup final, faces a contract until 2029 and a desire to start for her national side at the World Cup.

Arsenal’s summer will see Georgia Stanway and Ona Batlle return, with Geraldine Reuteler also joining North London. Departures of Beth Mead and Katie McCabe loom, as the former faces limited game time and the latter attracts interest from Chelsea, Man City and US clubs. These moves set the stage for a tighter title race ahead.
